Definitions
- the present invention relates to an interlayer for safety glass and, more particularly, to a self-adhering, composite interlayer including a polyvinyl chloride to containing layer.
- Safety glass is a well known term for a glass sandwich composed of an interlayer bonding together two glass plates or sheets so that breaking the glass results in minimum dispersion of broken glass fragments.
- the interlayer must possess a number of properties, including the following: high impact energy adsorption to minimize concussive injury; shear and tear strength sufficient to prevent rupture of the interlayer by the broken glass; sufficient adhesion to the glass to inhibit laceration on contact with, and prevent dispersion of, broken glass; acceptable thermal heat stability and weatherability; and good optical quality.
- the interlayer must possess these properties over the wide range of temperatures in which these laminated glazings are used.
- plasticized polyvinyl butyral As the interlayer material in safety glass for automobiles, air planes and building materials because of its high adhesiveness, transparency and good mechanical properties over a broad range of temperatures.
- plasticized polyvinyl butyral films makes the production of laminated safety glass relatively expensive.
- plasticized polyvinyl butyral film is very tacky, and presents a problem of blocking at the time of windup after film formation.
- plasticized polyvinyl butyral film must be provided with some parting means if it is to be stored or transported in the form of stacks of die-cut blanks or in the form of rolls.
- the production of plasticized polyvinyl butyral films requires specialized equipment and, due to their sensitivity to moisture, plasticized polyvinyl butyral films must generally be handled under controlled atmosphere conditions during manufacture, storage and immediately prior to their incorporation into the laminated safety glass. This all adds to the expense of utilizing plasticized polyvinyl butyral films in laminated safety glass.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,600,627 discloses a laminated glazing unit including a pair of glass sheets and a composite interlayer.
- the interlayer is formed of an interleaving sheet formed from polyester or PVC sandwiched between two intermediate layers of a crosslinking polymer, such as ethylene/vinyl acetate (EVA).
- EVA ethylene/vinyl acetate
- the intermediate layers which provide an adhesive bond between the interleaving sheet and the two glass sheets, have a thickness of about 0.2 mm. It has been determined, however, that that intermediate layers of EVA will not provide sufficient adhesion to the glass, and that the use of silane adhesion promoters is therefore required.
- the interleaving sheet is formed of PVC, the resulting laminating glazing exhibits poor optical quality.
- the present invention relates to an improved polyvinyl chloride containing interlayer for laminated safety glass.
- the laminated safety glass or glazing unit includes a pair of glass sheets bonded together with a self-adhering composite interlayer.
- the composite interlayer is formed of a support layer including a plasticized PVC containing film and a polymeric adhesive layer on one, or preferably both, of the major surfaces of the support layer.
- the adhesive layers are formed of a polymeric material which is capable of adhering to the PVC containing support layer and to the glass sheets.
- the adhesive layers have a first refractive index and the support layer has a second refractive index which matches the first refractive index as closely as possible in order to eliminate optical distortion caused by interfacial reflections of incident light.
- the first and second refractive indices should differ by no more than about 0.05.
- the adhesive layers are therefore preferably formed of a copolymer of vinyl chloride and at least one co-monomer capable of adhering to glass.
- a preferred copolymer resin for forming the adhesive layers is poly(vinyl chloride-co-vinyl acetate-co-maleic acid).
- the adhesive layers may be sprayed as latex to form a film on the support layer or the glass sheets.
- the adhesive layer formulation may be placed into solution and roll coated or rotogravure printed as a thin film on the support layer.
- the adhesive layers may also be co-extruded in pelletized form with the support layer. Rotogravure printing is the preferred method of forming the adhesive layers.
- the thickness of the adhesive layers will be determined by the degree to which the refractive index of the adhesive layer is matched to that of the support layer, and by the desired level of adhesion. In accordance with the invention, the thickness each of the adhesive layers is preferably no more than 1 mil, and is more preferably no more than about 0.5 mils.
- the improved PVC containing interlayer of this invention is thus relatively inexpensive and is self-adhering to a glass sheet.
- the interlayer provides a laminated glazing having good optical quality.
- the drawing is a diagrammatic cross-sectional view of a laminated glazing unit in accordance with this invention.
- the numerous and varied properties required of an interlayer material for use in laminated safety glass has made it very difficult to successfully develop such laminated safety glass employing a PVC interlayer, even though the cost advantages of so doing are potentially substantial.
- the properties an interlayer must possess include: high impact energy adsorption; shear and tear strength sufficient to prevent rupture of the interlayer by broken glass; sufficient adhesion to the glass to inhibit laceration on contact with, and prevent dispersion of, broken glass; acceptable thermal heat stability and weatherability; and good optical quality.

- the thickness of the support layer 12 substantially affects the impact strength of the laminated glazing unit.
- the impact strength of the laminated glazing unit will decrease with a decrease in the thickness of the support layer 12, so a support layer 12 of at least about 25 mils or more is preferred.
- it is desirable to form the support layer so that the overall thickness and weight of the laminated glazing unit is comparable to current products, which utilize a PVB interlayer about 30 mils thick. Accordingly, the thickness of the support layer 12 is preferably between about 28 to 35 mils.
- the support layer 12 is formed of a polyvinyl chloride homopolymer, it preferably has a number average molecular weight, or a mixture of number average molecular weights, of at least 30,000. In a preferred embodiment, the number average molecular weight, or mixture of number average molecular weights, is between about 40,000 and about 165,000, with a degree of polymerization of about 500 to 2600.
- One such preferred PVC resin is SE-1300, having a degree of polymerization of 1300 and a number average molecular weight of 80,600, which is commercially available from Shintech Inc. of Houston, Tex.
- the PVC is preferably formed by suspension polymerization, which offers superior control of molecular weight and the removal of impurities.
- a plasticized film containing a blend of a PVC homopolymer with copolymers provides an improved support layer 12.
- a copolymer exhibited improved flow properties, and hence, when blended with the PVC homopolymer results in improved processability over the PVC homopolymer alone.
- the support layer 12 is composed of a blend of from about 75 to 98 phr PVC and from about 2 to 25 phr poly(vinyl chloride-co-vinyl acetate). In a preferred embodiment, the blend is about 95 parts PVC homopolymer and about 5 parts of the poly(vinyl chloride-co-vinyl acetate).

- a suitable vinyl chloride/methylacrylate copolymer is Geon E8 commercially available from The Geon Company.
- the support layer 12 is formed from about 40 to 80 parts PVC homopolymer with about 20 to 60 parts of the vinyl chloride/methylacrylate copolymer.

- the preferred hydroxy containing monomers are trimethylolpropane monoallyl ether and trimethylolpropane diallyl ether.
- allyl ethers prepared by the partial allylation of a polyhydric alcohols are preferably used in accordance with the invention in the range of 0.015 to 30, and more preferably in the range of about 0.1 to 10, parts by weight per hundred parts by weight of the total monomer mixture.
- plasticizers for the preparation of the plasticized films containing PVC in accordance with the invention can be linear or branched aliphatic diesters, triesters or tetraesters, or aromatic diesters, triesters or tetraesters, or mixtures thereof.
- preferred plasticizers include dihexyl azelate (DHZ), dihexyl adipate (DHA) and dioctyl azelate (DOZ).
- dioctyl adipate (DOA) while providing slightly reduced performance relative to the other noted plasticizers, may be most preferred in view of its combination of performance and relatively lower cost.
- plasticizer blends may be employed for both economic and performance considerations.
- the total plasticizer concentration is between about 20 about 60 phr, depending primarily upon the number average molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of the PVC containing resin. A total plasticizer concentration of between about 35 and about 45 phr is most preferred.
- the PVC containing film is also preferably provided with between about 1 to 5, more preferably about 2 to 4 phr, of a primary heat stabilizer including an organometallic compound, such as salts of the alkaline metals and selected transition metals, including aluminum, barium, cadmium, calcium, lead, magnesium, tin, and zinc.

- the primary heat stabilizer preferably includes from about 1.6 to 4.0% atomic zinc as a zinc salt of an organic acid, and from about 7.0 to 14.0% atomic barium as a barium salt of an organic acid.
- the zinc salt may be, for example, zinc stearate, zinc laurate, zinc oleate, zinc iso-stearate, zinc octoate, or zinc decanate, or mixtures thereof.
- suitable barium and calcium salts include barium or calcium stearate, laurate, oleate, isostearate, octoate, or decanate, nonylphenolate, or mixtures thereof.

- the PVC film also preferably includes from about 0.1 to 1.0 phr of a perchlorate, a preferred perchlorate being sodium perchlorate.
- the PVC film is provided with between about 0.1 and 2.0 phr of a 1,3 [beta]-diketone. A preferred 1,3 [beta]-diketone has been found to be stearyl benzoyl methane.
- the support layer 12 may also include other additives, such as UV light stabilizers, antioxidants, optical brighteners, dyes and the like.
- the support layer 12 is preferably formed from a formulation including from about 0 to 2 phr of a benzophenone or benzotriazole derivative as a UV stabilizer, from about 0 to 5 phr hindered phenols as an antioxidant, from about 0 to 1 phr of a fluorescent or whitening agent, and from about 0 to 1 phr of a blue dye.
- the adhesive layers 13 of the interlayer 11 are formed of a polymeric material which adheres both to the support layer 12 and the glass sheets 10. If an adhesive layer 13 is provided on each of the surfaces of the support layer 12, the two adhesive layers 13 may be of the same or different formulations. For example, where the laminated glazing unit is to be mounted in a vehicle, it may be preferable to form the adhesive layers 13 with different formulations which provide differing levels of adhesion to the glass sheets 10. Thus, it may be preferable to formulate the adhesive layers 13 so that there is a higher level of adhesion between the support layer 12 and the glass sheet 10 which is inboard of the vehicle than between the support layer 12 and the glass sheet 10 which is outboard of the vehicle.
- the adhesive layers 13 should adhere to the support layer 12 as well as to the glass sheets 10.
- the adhesive layers 13 are formed of a polymeric material which is thermodynamically compatible with the vinyl chloride polymer of the support layer 12, and which includes at least one type of functional group which is capable of forming chemical bonds with glass, whether such bonds be covalent, ionic, hydrogen bonds, or other chemical bonds.
- the adhesive layers 13 are preferably formed of a copolymer having a functional group which is capable of adhering to the support layer.
- the term "copolymer” means a polymer formed by the polymerization of two or more different types of monomer species.
- Examples of preferred polymers for forming the adhesive layers 13 include poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate-co-acrylic acid); poly(vinyl pyrrolidone-co-vinyl acetate); poly(vinyl chloride-co-vinyl acetate-co-vinyl alcohol); poly(vinyl chloride-co-acrylic ester); poly(vinyl chloride-co-vinyl acetate-co-maleic acid); poly(vinyl chloride-co-acrylic ester-co-maleic acid); and copolymers of vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate or acrylic ester, and the acid of an acrylic ester.
- the support layer 12 is formed of a vinyl chloride homopolymer, copolymer, graft polymer, or a combination thereof, the vinyl chloride groups present in the above examples provide excellent adhesion to the support layer 12 through a mechanism of intermolecular chain entanglement as occurs with thermodynamically compatible polymers.
- the vinyl acetate groups and other groups that are compatible with vinyl chloride will also provide adhesion to the support layer 12.
- the acid functionality provided in the above noted examples by the maleic acid or acid of an acrylic ester is a preferred means of obtaining adhesion of the adhesive layer 13 to the glass sheets 10.
- the formulation for the adhesive layers 13 may include a silane, preferably a silane that can react covalently with the polymer in the adhesive layers 13 to form a graft copolymer. It is believed that forming such a graft copolymer will prevent diffusion of the silane into the support layer 12 and thereby reducing the adhesion.
- Epoxy, mercapto, and amino silanes are preferred. If the adhesive layers 13 contain acid groups, an epoxy silane, such as gamma glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane, is preferred.
- the acid functional groups of the polymer may then be employed to react with epoxy, forming a graft copolymer with characteristic alkoxy silane groups, which can hydrolyze and in turn bond to the glass sheet 10.
- excellent adhesion with low sensitivity to moisture is obtained between the adhesive layer 13 and the glass sheet 10, even when the adhesive layer 13 is deposited at a thickness of less than 0.1 mils on the surface of the support layer 12.
- including a silane in the adhesive layers 13 has not resulted in significant haze in the laminated glazing.
- the adhesive layers 13 preferably include a plasticizer comprising a linear or branched aliphatic diester, triester or tetraester, or aromatic diester, triester or tetraester, or mixtures thereof, the concentration of the plasticizer being between about 5 to about 60 phr.
- the adhesive layers 13 are also preferably provided with between about 1 to 5, more preferably about 2 to 4 phr, of a heat stabilizer including an organometallic compound, such as salts of the alkaline metals and selected transition metals, including aluminum, barium, cadmium, calcium, lead, magnesium, tin, and zinc.
- a heat stabilizer including an organometallic compound, such as salts of the alkaline metals and selected transition metals, including aluminum, barium, cadmium, calcium, lead, magnesium, tin, and zinc.
- the heat stabilizer preferably includes a tin salt of an organic acid.
- the adhesive layers 13 may also contain other heat stabilizers, such as those noted above for the support layer 12.
- the adhesive layers 13 may also include other additives, such as UV light stabilizers, antioxidants, optical brighteners, dyes, inorganic fillers, inorganic pigments and the like.
- the adhesive layers 13 of the invention are preferably formed from a formulation including up to about 10 phr of a benzophenone or benzotriazole derivative as a UV stabilizer.
- the adhesive layers 13 may also include up to about 5 phr hindered phenols as an antioxidant, up to about 1 phr of a fluorescent or whitening agent, and up to about 1 phr of a blue dye.
- the adhesive layers 13 are preferably formed as thin films on the surfaces of either support layer 12 or the respective glass sheets 10.
- Each adhesive layer 13 is preferably about 0.01 to 0.5 mils thick. Within that range, a thicker adhesive layer 13 will provide a higher adhesion between the interlayer 11 and the glass sheets 10. At the upper end of that range, the copolymers noted above will provide sufficient adhesion between the support layer 12 and the glass sheets 10.
- Some of those copolymers have a refractive index which is different from the refractive index of the support layer 12. This difference in refractive index may be sufficiently large to cause visible reflections from the interface between the support and adhesive layers. These reflections result in optical distortion, especially since the support layer 12 is generally provided with an emboss pattern to facilitate de-airing during lamination.
- the adhesive layers 13 as thin as possible is preferred. This is especially so if a silane is included in the adhesive layers 13. However, as the thickness of the adhesive layers 13 is reduced, adhesion levels to the glass will also decrease. Thus, the minimally tolerable thickness for retaining desirable adhesion may still lead to a problem with optical distortion if there is a significant difference in the refractive indices of the support layer 12 and the adhesive layers 13.
- the refractive index of the adhesive layers 13 should differ by no more than about 0.05, preferably by no more than about 0.04, more preferably by no more than about 0.03, and even further by no more than about 0.01.
- the adhesive layers 13 are preferably formed of a copolymer of vinyl chloride and a co-monomer capable of adhering to glass.
- a most preferred resin for forming the adhesive layers 13 is poly(vinyl chloride-co-vinyl acetate-co-maleic acid), such as VMCH commercially available from Union Carbide.
- the refractive index of the adhesive layers 13 may be adjusted by altering the additives included in the formulation. For example, since BBP has a higher refractive index than DHA, the refractive index of the adhesive layers 13 can be increased by using BBP as a plasticizer, reduced by using DHA as a plasticizer, or controlled by using a BBP/DHA mixture.
- the adhesive layers 13 may be applied to either the glass sheets 10 or the support layer 12.
- the adhesive layers 13 may be applied by any suitable technique. For instance, the adhesive layers 13 may be sprayed as latex to form a film on the support layer 12 or the glass sheets 10. Alternatively, the adhesive layer 13 formulation may be placed into solution and roll coated or rotogravure printed as a thin film on the support layer 12. The adhesive layers 13 may also De co-extruded in pelletized form with the support layer 12. Rotogravure printing is the preferred method of forming the adhesive layers 13.
- the pummel test was used to measure interlayer adhesion to the glass. Twelve inch square glass laminates were placed in a -18° C. refrigerator for at least two hours. After removal from the refrigerator, the laminates were placed on a metal substrate and hit repeatedly with a 16 oz. hammer to break the glass. All broken glass unadhered to the interlayer was then removed. The amount of glass left adhered to the interlayer was visually compared with a set of standards of known pummel scale and a pummel value for each sample was assigned, ranging from a pummel value of 0 (no adhesion; no glass adhered) to 10 (high adhesion, 100% of the glass adhered).
- the optical quality of laminated samples was determined by measurement of transmitted distortion using a float glass distortion meter, and by visual inspection using both a shadowgraph and a gridboard background. Transmitted haze was measured with a Hazegard XL200 from Gardner/BYK.
- Refractive index was measured using the Becke-Line method.
- Heat stability was determined by monitoring the yellowing rate of four inch square laminated samples in one or more temperature controlled ovens. After measuring the initial yellowness index (YIC) using the Spectrogard from Gardner/BYK of Silver Springs, Md., samples were placed in one of five ovens set at various temperatures (65°, 80°, 100°, 120° and 150° C.). The samples were removed from the ovens at regular intervals and the YIC was measured. The various time intervals were as follows: 500 hours for the oven at 65° C., 250 hours for the oven at 80° C., 48 hours for the oven at 100° C., 24 hours for the oven at .120° C., and 4 hours for the oven at 150° C.
- YIC initial yellowness index
- Adhesion, YIC and Haze were also measured after the samples were subjected to a boil test.
- the samples were immersed, vertically on edge, in water at 66° C. for 3 minutes and then quickly transferred to and similarly immersed in boiling water. The samples were kept in the boiling water for 2 hours and then removed.
- a support layer approximately 41 mils thick was made having the following formulation:
- Adhesive layers were formed by applying a layer of a poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate-co-acrylic acid) latex to the above support layer. The interlayer was then dried for 15 minutes at 100° C. A 2% solution of an amino silane was applied to the glass sheets and laminates were assembled and autoclaved at 340° F. and 240 psi with a 25 minute hold time.
- a support layer approximately 35 mils thick was made having the following formulation:
- Laminates were assembled with a pair of 12" ⁇ 12" sheets of glass and the above described interlayer, and were autoclaved at 300° F. and 240 psi with a 25 minute hold time.
- Laminates were made which were identical to those made in example 2, except that the adhesive layers included 3.8% by weight BBP instead of 3.8% by weight DHA.
- the refractive indices were measured as followed:
